Xiao Jining said what Jing Yuan taught him in front of Queen Mother Chun.

From an objective point of view, there is nothing wrong with Xiao Jining's words. Tan Qingxuan's background is indeed not worthy of being a concubine. Even if her father is the head of the imperial hospital, she is a concubine.

In the harem, the position of "concubine" can become the head of the first palace. The concubines below the imperial concubine can only be the first concubine if they have stayed in the palace for a long time, or are very favored by the emperor, and have a prince or princess. Otherwise, he can only live in a side hall and a side room.

And the law of the Great Xiao, "Concubine" is limited to four, the "Concubine" above the "Concubine" is limited to one "Concubine", and the "Madam" below the "Concubine" is limited to eight, and the number below is unlimited. Jieyu, Ji and Meiren were born as pure empress dowagers back then. After fighting for half their life, they gave birth to a prince, so they could only mix with Jieyu.

And Tan Qingxuan's background, if she entered the palace as one of the four concubines, it would be too eye-catching, and it would be a slap in the face of the empress.

However, there is no one in Xiao Jining's harem now, and the Empress Dowager Chun is trying her best to support Tan Qingxuan, so there is no need to confer too low a title on this one, it is actually the best to be conferred under the wife of Jieyu.

But Xiao Jining said: "With female doctor Tan's background, it is a great kindness to be named Jieyu, but she has meritorious service in serving the Empress Dowager, so it's better to break the rules and be named a wife."

The position of concubine of "Madame" was after discussions between Xiao Jining and Ruan Jiaren, and they agreed that this was the highest position that Tan Qingxuan could confer at the moment. If it was too high, it would inevitably arouse discussions from the ruling and opposition parties. If it was too low, it would be impossible for Xiao Jining to really favor Tan Qingxuan. , it will be difficult to promote her position in the future.

But the Empress Dowager Chun insisted on Tan Qingxuan being the "concubine".

Because only the "concubine" can intervene in the affairs of the harem, if Tan Qingxuan can't become one of the four concubines, she can stand firm before Ruan Jiaren completely controls all the harem forces, and wait for the first draft after the new emperor ascends the throne next year. After the rookies entered the palace, Tan Qingxuan had no place to stand, and this harem was Ruan Jiaren's world.

It was precisely because Jing Yuan saw the Queen Mother Chun's mind that he let Xiao Jining talk to the Queen Mother Chun like this.

Now that Xiao Jining has finished speaking, the next step is for Empress Chun to worry about how to build momentum for Tan Qingxuan so that Xiao Jining can make her a concubine, and Xiao Jining doesn't have to worry about this matter anymore.

As a result, Xiao Jining did not expect that the Empress Dowager Chun would be cruel to herself in order to take some power from Ruan Jiaren, and she actually took the poison herself.

As long as the poison is rescued in time, it will not cause death, and the amount of poison that the Empress Dowager Chun has taken is not much. To cure this poison is just a trivial matter for Tan Qingxuan's medical skills.

But Empress Tan Qingxuan Yu Chun had the grace to save her life. The Empress Dowager Chun wanted Xiao Jining to make Tan Qingxuan a concubine, and Xiao Jining had almost no reason to refuse.

So Xiao Jining "can only" make Tan Qingxuan a virtuous concubine and bestow her residence in Qingzhi Palace.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but Qingzhi Palace is next door to Changle Palace.

Inevitably, there was another discussion in Beijing about this—it was said that Ruan Jiaren and Tan Qingxuan had been fighting for so many years. Seeing that Tan Qingxuan was nearly seventeen years old and hadn't engaged yet, Ruan Jiaren, who was her rival at the same age, sat down. The most honorable queen in the world.

Who would have expected that Ruan Jiaren entered the palace less than half a year ago, and Tan Qingxuan also entered the palace by virtue of her life-saving grace to the queen mother, and became one of the four concubines. The Qingzhi palace granted her residence is in Changle Next door to the palace, it was as if he wanted to fight Ruan Jiaren for the rest of his life.

Now there are only two of them in Emperor Yunchu's harem, and the next good show will be to see which of them will conceive the dragon seed first.

The above are all the gossip news that Xiao Jining heard in Yipinlou when he left the palace today.

Although the protagonist of this gossip is himself, the content is far from the truth, so Xiao Jining listened with great interest, but Xi Shu, who was sitting next to Xiao Jining, felt restless on pins and needles.

"Don't be so tight, wipe your sweat." Seeing Xi Shu's nervous forehead sweating, Xiao Jining thought it was a little funny, threw him a handkerchief and said, "We just came out to listen to the book today, you So what are you nervous about?"

But Xi Shu felt that it was disrespectful even to sit next to Xiao Jining, let alone wipe his sweat with Xiao Jining's handkerchief embroidered with golden dragon patterns on the table. , servant girl...Xi Shu dare not use your handkerchief."

Xiao Jining glanced at him, seeing that Xi Shu really couldn't let go, he said: "Then you should sit down and drink tea."

"Yes!" Xi Shu replied, and then began to drink the teapot on the table for himself.

Looking at Xi Shu's obedient and dull appearance, Xiao Jining shook his head helplessly.

That's right, it wasn't Jing Yuan or Mu Kui who followed him out of the palace today, but Xiao Mo's godson Xi Shu.

At first Xiao Jining wanted to get Jingyuan out of the palace and accompany him to Yipinlou to listen to books, but today Jingyuan disappeared after the morning court, Xiao Jining sent someone to his mansion to invite someone, but the servants in the mansion said they The general went out to court this morning and never came back. I don't know where he went.Xiao Jining couldn't find Jing Yuan to accompany him, but he didn't dare to let Mu Kui accompany him out of the palace.

The reason is the same, through the emperor system, Xiao Jining saw that Mu Kui's current force value is only 42 points, which is a full 52 points lower than the 10 points when he first received Mu Kui back then!Xiao Jining also didn't understand why Mu Kui's martial power had not improved but regressed, but with this value, if he only took Mu Kui out of the palace alone, it would be fine if nothing happened. If something happened, the two of them would have no resistance at all. , can only be slaughtered by others, under such circumstances, Xiao Jining has to take a few more guards out.

However, Xiao Jining didn't want to be surrounded by so many people, because it was too conspicuous, so why would he play when he went out?

At this time, Xiao Jining missed Jing Yuan very much, he was always so at ease with Jing Yuan by his side, and he didn't have to worry about anyone plotting against him.

In desperation, Xiao Jining could only look at the attributes of the palace servants in the emperor system, and wanted to pick out a palace servant with higher strength and loyalty to accompany him out of the palace. Xi Shu is really a hidden talent.

Xi Shu's force value is as high as 85 points, but his intelligence is a bit low, only 47 points, his ambition is 8 points, his loyalty is 82 points, and his character is stupid.

As soon as Xiao Jining saw his personality, he understood why Xiao Mo didn't try to put his godson next to the emperor, but only dared to let him be the eunuch next to the chief inspector of ceremonies, eating and drinking and doing light things on weekdays.

But this kind of person Xiao Jining felt very at ease when using it, so he left the palace today with only Xi Shu.

As for the purpose of going out of the palace, there must be only one purpose for Xiao Jining, and that is to go to Yipinlou to listen to Feng Yusheng's lectures.

This time Xiao Jining went to Yipin Building to sit in the lobby, which happened to be the seat where he sat with Jing Yuan last time, and since Xiao Jining heard Feng Yusheng's story last time, he lost his soul in Yipin Building. As soon as you are seated, ask the person next to you: "Hey, brother, I would like to ask you, which chapter of Mr. Feng's book "The Biography of Lu Ping" is it?"

The person who was approached by Xiao Jining was a young man, wearing Li Se's strong clothes, he looked like a person walking in the rivers and lakes, but he didn't have a bad temper, and he seemed to be Feng Yusheng's listener, he turned his head after being patted by Xiao Jining on the shoulder. When he saw Xiao Jining's face, he was stunned, until Xiao Jining called him again, "This brother?", the young man suddenly came back to his senses, and told Xiao Jining: "This is the last time, after listening to this time Feng Mister is about to publish a book."

Xiao Jining immediately said happily after hearing the words: "That's really great."

When Feng Yusheng published the book, wouldn't he be able to buy the book and go to the palace to read it?Xiao Jining also planned to buy a set of all Feng Yusheng's previous books and bring them back to the palace, so that his days in the palace would not be too boring.

"This young master, my surname is Li, and my name is Yihui. I came to Yipinlou just to listen to Mr. Feng's lectures." The man dressed up was very excited when he saw Xiao Jining talking about Feng Yusheng, so he introduced himself to Xiao Jining, "You are also Feng Yusheng." Sir's audience?"

"That's right, I... My surname is Qi, and my single name is Ning." Xiao Jining used a pseudonym to chat with the man, "I'm just like you, I came here to listen to books. I used to be a listener here, and I often come here Yes, it's just that things at home are too busy recently, and I haven't had time to come here to listen to books for a long time."

The young man smiled and said, "No wonder I think you look familiar, but I should have never seen you before."

"There are so many diners coming and going in and out of Yipin Building." Xiao Jining also smiled, "How can you remember all of them?"

But the man said: "Hey, that's not necessarily the case, to be honest, I have the ability to never forget, but I will never forget anyone who has seen it."

Xiao Jining had heard of such a person, but he had never seen it with his own eyes. Hearing this, he couldn't help asking curiously: "Mr. Li, are you serious?"

Li Yihui grinned, with a firm tone, and only said one word: "True."

Xiao Jining was still skeptical: "But didn't you just say that you thought I looked familiar, but you had never met me? If you really remembered all the people you met, how could you think I looked familiar, but you had never met me? "

"Oh, don't be angry when you say it, Mr. Qi." Li Yihui scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "I have indeed seen a person who is somewhat similar to you, although that person is also dressed as a man, but But she is a woman, so when I saw Mr. Qi just now, I was stunned for a moment, but I didn't know if there were other sisters in Mr. Qi's family."

As soon as Li Yihui finished speaking, Xiao Jining was also stunned.

He remembered that Li Yihui said that he was familiar with him, but at the time he thought it was the words Li Yihui used to strike up a conversation and he didn't pay much attention to it, but Li Yihui said that he had seen a woman who looked like him, and Ask him if there are other sisters in his family.

Does Xiao Jining have any other sisters?

Of course there is, and there are more than one, there are five!

Among the five princesses, three have already married, and Xiao Jining's fourth princess and fifth princess are still in their boudoirs and have not yet married.

Now when Li Yihui mentioned it, Xiao Jining suddenly remembered that he had indeed not seen Sihuangmei and Wuhuangmei for a long time, but there was no way to do it, Emperor Yunhong liked these daughters more than his son You guys, otherwise the eldest princess would not have been so arrogant and domineering back then, so Emperor Yunhong gave the five princesses the princess mansion when he was still alive. When the princesses reach the age of fifteen, even if they are not married, they can freely move into the princess mansion.

Xiao Jining didn't have a deep relationship with these princesses, and he rarely saw each other except for the annual banquet, and after he ascended the throne, if the princesses didn't ask to see them, he wouldn't have the chance to meet them.

I didn't expect to be here in Yipin Building today, and I heard Li Yihui mention them.

So Xiao Jining replied to Li Yi: "There are several sisters, but I don't know which one Mr. Li saw."

Li Yihui raised his eyebrows and said, "Hahaha, so Mr. Qi has more than one sister?"

Xiao Jining felt that there was nothing to hide, so he said, "There are five of them."

He really didn't know which one of the five princesses came to the Yipin Building, but Xiao Jining didn't see anyone in the lobby, so he guessed that she was in the private room.

In the end, Xiao Jining didn't expect that, the next moment he heard Li Yi laugh back twice, and told him: "Oh, that's right."

Xiao Jining asked strangely: "What's wrong?"

"I don't want to hide Mr. Qi anymore. I have seen more than one woman who is somewhat similar to you." Li Yihui said, "At first I thought that woman was the same person, but she was disguised so there was a slight difference, but Since Mr. Qi, you said that there are five sisters in your family, it is possible that the girls you see below are not the same person."

This time Xiao Jining really had question marks all over his face.

But at this time Feng Yusheng had already stepped onto the stage, and as soon as he stopped speaking, both he and Li Yihui could only calm down and listen to Feng Yusheng's lecture.

However, this time Xiao Jining didn't really listen to Feng Yusheng's book - because of the news Li Yihui told him.

Even after Feng Yusheng finished his lecture, Xiao Jining didn't leave in a hurry, but sat in his seat, staring at the faces of every guest coming down from the private room upstairs, but even though he looked so carefully, Xiao Jining didn't want to leave. It may not be possible to find the person he is looking for from it.

After all, there are three doors in Yipin Building, one of which is for the private room guests who don't want other people to know that they have been to Yipin Building.

And when Li Yi saw Xiao Jining still refused to leave after reading the book, he understood that Xiao Jining was waiting here to see which of his sisters disguised themselves as men and came to Yipinlou without telling the family.

Although Li Yihui has only known Xiao Jining not long ago, both of them like to listen to Feng Yusheng's lectures, and Li Yihui thinks that Xiao Jining's personality suits his taste very much. He likes this friend very much, so he can't help reminding Xiao Jining: " Mr. Qi, it seems that there are more than one sisters who came to Yipin Building today, and they all went to the private room, and it seems that they are not in the same private room. Li should not do such things as spying on women, so Li didn't look carefully. Which private room they went to, you might as well go home first, and wait at the door to see the order in which they arrive home, so you can know, you don't have to stay here."

Xiao Jining: "..."

It seems that Li Yi's ability to remember things with a photographic memory is really not bragging, but his five sisters don't live in the same family.

Seeing that it was getting late outside, Xiao Jining was worried that if he didn't go back, Mu Kui might send someone to look for him, so Xiao Jining had no choice but to go back to the palace first.

As a result, after returning to the palace, Xiao Jining had just changed into the dragon robe and hadn't fastened his belt when Xiao Jining heard the palace servants come to report that it was Jing Yuan who had come to see him and was already waiting in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Hearing the words, Xiao Jining rushed to the main hall in a hurry, and seeing Jing Yuan standing in the center of the main hall, he walked up to him and said, "Okay, Jing Yuan, let me tell you that you have something to hide from me, the last time I was in the Imperial Garden Ask you, you still don’t admit it.”

Jing Yuan frowned slightly: "Your Majesty, I have nothing to hide from you."

"Still saying no!" Xiao Jining pursed his lips, pretending to be angry and said, "I'll give you some hints, Yipinlou."

Jing Yuan laughed and said: "I really don't know, is it because your Majesty is angry that I refuse to let you often go out of the palace to listen to books in Yipinlou? Yes, yes, I know I was wrong."

While apologizing to Xiao Jining, Jing Yuan took out two beautifully packaged books from behind him and put them in front of Xiao Jining's eyes: "Wei Chen came here with a gift to apologize to His Majesty."

"What is this?" Xiao Jining took the book and flipped through it, and suddenly saw a familiar name on the cover——Feng Yusheng.

Xiao Jining immediately said excitedly: "Is this Mr. Feng's book?"

"Yes." Jing Yuan smiled and said, "I know that Your Majesty likes Mr. Feng's books, so I specially found a book written by the stories he told in Yipinlou before. "has been finished, but there is no time to publish the book in the future, when "Lu Ping's Biography" is also published, I will go buy it for His Majesty, okay?"

Xiao Jining got Feng Yusheng's book and didn't have time to look up, he just said: "I know he finished writing it."

Jing Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Wei Chen heard that His Majesty went out of the palace with Mr. Xi Shu to listen to books in Yipinlou today."

What Jing Yuan said just now was like coaxing a child, and Xiao Jining was almost coaxed.

And now, as soon as he uttered these sour words, Xiao Jining suddenly came back to his senses, raised his slender chin and said: "Yes, I also met a new friend, that person's surname is Li, and his name is Yihui. "

Jing Yuan's voice softened a little, and he said disdainfully: "It's just mountain ruffians, it's better for Your Majesty to have less contact with these people."

"Even if it's a mountain ruffian, it's still my people." Xiao Ji Ning said, "And General Jing, the mountain ruffian you mentioned, he has a photographic memory."

"Oh?" Jing Yuan sneered, "Your Majesty, it's not surprising that I have such abilities."

Xiao Jining: "..."

This ability of photographic memory is in Jingyuan's mouth, why is it like a skill that everyone has?

Hearing what Jing Yuan said, Xiao Jining choked back what he was about to say, and after being speechless for a while, he said: "No, his photographic memory is different from yours. He told me that he was in the first-grade building. Seeing a person, until now, General Jing, do you still want to hide it from me?"

When Xiao Jining asked Jing Yuan these words, he kept staring into Jing Yuan's eyes.

So he could also see that after his words fell, Jing Yuan's pupils suddenly shrank, almost as narrow as a needle.

However, his Adam's apple twitched, and he still refused to admit it when he opened his mouth: "This minister really didn't... He was hiding something from His Highness."

It was also because I met Li Yihui in Yipin Building today, so Xiao Jining finally remembered when Jing Yuan started to become weird.

It was the last time the two of them went out of the palace to send the Seventh and Eighth Princes away from the capital, and instead of returning to the palace immediately, they went to Yipinlou to listen to books. When they left, Jing Yuan seemed to look back behind them, and it should be When someone arrived, he was stunned in place.

Xiao Jining didn't care about it at the time, but since then, Jing Yuan has become a little weird, as if something is hidden in his heart.

"No, I was wrong just now." Xiao Jining forgot to call himself Zhen, and reasoned with Jing Yuan, "Li Yihui said that he saw more than just one person."

Xiao Jining thought that since he made it so clear, Jing Yuan should also understand what he meant. When he saw Jing Yuan, he refused to admit it, so he could only say directly: "General Jing, tell me honestly, that day in Yipin Building, Which princess did you see?"

Jingyuan: "..."

Jing Yuan was also very speechless, Xiao Jining said so confidently, he really thought that Xiao Jining already knew his deepest secret.But I didn't expect Xiao Jining to force him to ask him so much, but in the end he asked him which princess he met?

Jing Yuan was more puzzled by this question than Xiao Jining, but he understood that if he could not answer this question well, he would not be able to divert Xiao Jining's attention.

So Jingyuan pondered for a moment, then immediately changed his face, lowered his eyes and sighed softly, pulled out the eldest princess who had been blamed by him, and said: "Since His Majesty has discovered it, the humble minister will also There is no longer any way to hide it."

"The person I met that day was the Eldest Princess Yaoguang."

Xiao Jining was stunned when he heard the words: "Sister Yaoguang?"

Jing Yuan's complexion did not change, and he said affirmatively: "Yes, it is Princess Yaoguang."

"But, isn't Yaoguang married?" Xiao Jining stammered, "No, no, being married doesn't mean she can't go out to play, it's just that she, she goes to Yipinlou to listen to books..."

The more Xiao Jining talked, the more chaotic he became, until the end he didn't know what he was talking about.

But what he wanted to express was that the son-in-law of Yaoguang seemed a little green on the top of his head.

Can this not be green?There are so many women in Yipinlou who go to listen to books for Feng Yusheng, Xiao Jining doesn't believe that Yaoguang went to Yipinlou to listen to books just for listening to books.And Li Yihui also said that more than one princess went to Yipinlou to listen to books, isn't this all messed up?

The author has something to say: Eldest Princess: Alright, are you throwing the blame at me again?
